Its the "oh, this is cool!" design philosophy.

There was a top gear episode, Clarkson was talking about driving...the quote is something like

"THIS, now this is fast driving. Boring, smooth, not a lot of tyres screeching...boring, efficient...

now THIS, this is TELEVISION driving, car going sideways, tyres smoking something furious! WAAAHOOOOOO!!! FUN! See the difference?"

This is like...television design, its fun and loud, but not very effective.

I'm sorry, this makes no sense at all.

Carry On.
